What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Ballybrack, County Cork: a 34-metre circular pasture on a northwest-facing slope, its southeast entrance marked by two radially set stones and a 2.2-metre gap. The ground dips gently north-east, and local people have long whispered about a hidden passage beneath the grass. Whether that is a forgotten tunnel or merely a hollow shaped by water and time, the ring still feels like a threshold: a small room the land kept private while the village went about its business above.

In pasture, on NW-facing slope. Circular area (34m NW-SE) partially enclosed by field fence (H 1.5m) NW->SE; low undulation SE->NW. Entrance (Wth 2.2m) through fence to SE, defined by 2 radially-set stones. Interior slopes gently downhill to NNE; possible Man-made underground passage (CO148-018002-). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 1: West Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1992). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
